I am currently running rh9 on a compaq Presario 800mhz amd duron processor with 256ram and smc2-1211tx network card. When I attempt to download blag 20K either from a mirror thru my mozilla-1.6 browser or using gftp, I cannot get it to download past 26% complete. I have dropped my firewall and checked with my isp to make sure there was no interference from that end (i run highspeed broadband with 512 download). I am at my wits end as to why I cannot download any iso's from any sight past a certain limit. Does anyone have a clue as to what might be going on. I was running blag 10K and had the same problem, so i went back to rh9 where i was always successful in downloading iso's. Now I can't download iso's from anywhere. With 30K getting ready to come out, I desperately want to figure out what's going on. I checked with my local linux gurus and they don't seem to have a clue. Has anyone run into this before or does someone have a possible area to look at? I need guidance badly. Thanks very much in advance......

Actually, I hadn't looked at partition space, but after your suggestion, I did and my partition is less than 20% full, so that shouldn't be a problem as my hardrive is 40 gigs. What I failed to mention, because I forgot is that I share my internet connection with my daughter via a router(legally, if you can believe it). Could there be a problem there, although it never was a problem before.. Thanks for your suggestion. I should have looked at that as a matter of course.

I share my connection too with 3 other people and go through loads of GB's per week. Not too sure why it times out but perhaps one of us local to you could mail you a CD? It doesn't solve the problem I know but it gets you BLAG'ed up so to speak.

A real big thanks to everyone for offering to help me get "blag'd up", but my son was good enough to download both 20K and 30k alpha for me. I have to tell ya that dealing with all of you folks on this forum has been a real nice experience and I'm feeling real good about the switch from redhat. Thanks again to all...
